Publisher's summary

Joseph Malcom has spent his life protecting those in need, but now that his sister is safely settled with her new family in the Canadian Rockies, his help is no longer required. That is, until he’s asked to safely retrieve the priest’s cousin to help minister to the local Indian tribe. But his passenger is not at all who he expects.

After the death of her mother, Monti Bergeron has nothing to keep her in Montreal. While the prospect of ministering to the Indians out West is daunting, she looks forward to assisting her beloved cousin in his mission work. The life of a nun may be just what she needs to heal her grief, serving her Heavenly Father and fellow mankind, especially if no more pesky suitors are around to ask for her hand in marriage. But the man who’s been sent to guide her through the mountains might make her second-guess her plans before she even begins.

As Monti settles into her ministry, Joseph finds his wandering feet drawn back to the Indian camp. Monti’s focus on God is more unsettling than he’d like to admit. Add to that her beauty which tests his willpower at every turn, and she’s made it crystal clear she doesn’t want a husband. But when his determination to keep distance between them puts Monti in danger, protecting her might require something Joseph might not be able to give.

Enjoyable Story!

Yes, this book is a wonderful romance with some adventure mixed in, and a great setting, but I also love the emphasis on family bonds. You can see the way the characters love and respect their families, and it makes you want to have them over for coffee or move in right next door to them! Listeners will love this heartwarming story.

Courage

Moni wanting to join a cousin and minister to the Indians in the Canadian mountains. It seems overwhelming to do, tired of the men asking for hand in marriage. Setting out to be that as a nun, until the guide that will lead her to the camp might change her mind. A good adventure and not for the light hearted.woman, for one of courage to travel this far.
Given audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

True emotions, great message loved it.

This is a cute read I had to chuckle when Joseph went to pick up the minister cousin and found out he was a she. I had a blast picturing in my mind the look on his face. Joseph has spent his life helping others giving so much of his self. He had an accident that the author gives such vivid details I felt a chill go up my spine. My mind just doesn’t wrap around what that must have been like, not knowing if you would live, deciding if you should cut off a body part. He lost his faith in God that day and just hasn’t been able to find it. This is a very emotional and spiritual read that really touched my heart. Monti words keep going through my mind be the man God made you to be not what you think you should be. No truer words have been written. It’s a story about looking past your disabilities or the ones you think you have learning to accept who you are, knowing you are no less of a person no matter what you have been though. The story is built around lost in so many ways, to finding yourself, there is danger, excitement, romance, and so much more.

Ms. Woodworth’s narration with her soft sweet voice really brought this story to life. She made me feel each lose, sorrow and pain. Her character voices are outstanding her female so soft but strong, her male strong but weak, both caring and loving. You can hear the pain, sorrow, anger, hurt along with excitement, danger and thrills. I had no trouble picturing the events as they unfold. This was one audio she held me in the palm of her hand with true emotion that each character was going through. I was so invested I forgot I was listening and found things to do around the house to listen longer. Her tones are right on the mark keeping the listener on the edge as danger gets near. It was a thrilling, exciting listen. The danger is real, I felt like I was there with the characters. There are no volume changes, no background noise or any repeating of words. If any breaks were taken I could not tell. I had no trouble knowing who is talking and what they are feeling. Her character voices are just great as well as her normal voice is very pleasant and easy to listen to. You can feel the uneasiness of the characters as they work through the emotions of loss, facing the outcome and the heart break of the past. Ms. Woodworth’s has no trouble pulling of this very emotional listen that captivates you and holds your attention.

So far out of this series this one is my favorite. I think the author out did herself giving a very powerful message along with a very detailed story that kept me very entertained. There was a time or two when I think my heart stopped beating for a minute and others where I smiled and even wanted to cry at the true emotion that was written. This is so much more than a romance it is about faith, overcoming issues and finding what you want out of life and going for it. I loved the characters, how the story is laid out and the true meaning behind it. From start to finish I was hooked can't wait for the next one.

Adventures!

I listened to the audio of this second book in the “Heart of the Mountains” Series. I really enjoyed the narrator and the story and wanted to get back to it every time I had to put it down. You can read book one and two alone but there was characters in the second book that was in the first. Matter of fact if you want to know the full background of Joseph the main character in book two then read the first book. It’s a great book too.
The author describes each scene and the scenery so well you can almost see the mountains and the people.
A faith-filled book with romance and full of adventures. Read this story and learn how Joseph comes to grip with his relationship with God and how Monti puts her faith in God.
If you like an Inspirational romance you will like this book.
I received a complimentary Audio copy of this book from a promo by the narrator and author. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are my own.

Excellent Reader!

The narrator did a great job with creating individual voices. This is a good series describing the 19th century Canadian Rockies.

Excellent exciting clean romance!

I will be looking for more books from this author for shore in the middle of finishing this series currently.

Engaging Plot and Interesting Characters

Monte’s journey to the wildness, finding protection and love is a simple plot but there’s enough danger and spiritual growth to keep it interesting. The narrator’ voice on all except Monte’s. Her French accent kept the book from being a five star.

love found in the wilderness

thank God for the writer of this book and the teaching and understanding in the Journey of life may God bless the writer and the speaker,

Great second book!

This is the story of Emma Malcolm's twin, Joseph. After these two survive traveling to the Canadian Rockies, Joseph tries to establish his own life but finds it more difficult than expected. 



Monti Bergeron has lost her family so she decides to join her cousin who is a priest ministering to a local Indian tribe. She has some knowledge of medicine and hopes she will help the tribe as well as minister to their souls. 



Joseph and Monti's lives come together when her cousin asks Joseph to escort Monti to him. As life brings adventure, danger and longing for more, can both learn that only through giving their difficult pasts to God, can they truly understand His love?



I really enjoyed Misty's second book of the Heart of the Mountains series. I listened to book one and could not wait for Joseph's story. The book is written in such a way that you do not need to read book one, but I would recommend it. 



Lenor A. Woodworth did another excellent job in bringing Joseph's story to life! Her narration and characters were rich and she is becoming a favorite to listen to!
